Description: | A copper alloy rosette type brooch dating to the first century AD. The brooch comprises a cylindrical head with a slot for the pin. The head is decorated with five incised triangles. These observe the curve of the central circular plate which extends directly from the head. This plate is decorated with a marginal circumferential rib and at its centre is an applied flat circular knop with a cut out sunburst pattern. The knop is secured with a circular section rivet which is visible on the underside of the brooch. The plate extends to a flat, trapezoidal foot with two rows of vertical knurled ribs. The catchplate is semi-circular in shape with a circular perforation. The brooch measures 36mm in length and 22mm in width.
